Netanyahu Raids Palestinian Family Home in West Bank, Orders More Attacks on Natives
Occupied West Bank (Quds News Network)- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appeared in a picture, along with Israeli soldiers, boasting about breaking into a Palestinian family’s home in a West Bank refugee camp. The fate of the family is unknown.
Netanyahu personally led the raid on a Palestinian family’s home in Tulkarm Refugee Camp in the occupied West Bank. Israeli state broadcaster KAN published the photo showing him inside the house, accompanied by army officers.
The raid followed the explosion of three buses in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv. Analysts suspect the attack may have been orchestrated by Israelis themselves to justify further assaults on native Palestinians. Netanyahu ordered the deployment of three additional battalions to the West Bank before any investigation results were released.
In a video message from the occupied territory, Netanyahu boasted that Israeli forces were conducting “critical operations.” He confirmed that, alongside Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, he had ordered intensified assaults on Palestinians. Katz also took part in another raid on a Palestinian home in Tulkarm.
Israeli forces have ramped up attacks against native Palestinians across the West Bank, carrying out home invasions, kidnaps, and violent crackdowns. Hundreds have been kidnaped, including women and children.
Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, condemned Netanyahu’s raid and the escalation of violence. She stated:
“Israeli PM Netanyahu, wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity, persists in unlawful actions, now in full swing in the occupied West Bank. These actions are leading Israel to a troubling point in history. It’s crucial for international law to be enforced, holding Israel accountable, starting with its leaders.”
